People are so gullible.
The republican party isn't the one burning cities, setting up autonomous zones, preventing freedom of speech and calling to abolish the police and rule of law.

I applaud the poster for having the ability to think in a critical and in depth manner and not fall victim to rampant sheep mentality. Just because their view doesn't align with yours doesn't make it "unbelievable."
Thank you.

I don't see many democrat leaders in the cities were the chaos and destruction is happening stepping up and leading either. They seem to be ignoring or apologizing for it. It's THEIR job before it's the job of the federal gov't

People are talking about the chaos and destruction happening in Democrat-run cities. Which their officials largely let happen.

What did you want Donald Trump to do about that, exactly? Send in the troops?

"So in the left's view. If I stay home, pay my taxes, follow the law, act like a responsible citizen and decline to participate in BLM protests or activism, I am more evil and contemptible than someone who is out burning cities, tearing down public statues and assaulting or killing people!"

they truly are loopier than a south-bound sparrow with an inner ear infection.

Refute just one of the points I raised in the OP. Dems are not doing the things I mentioned? These things are OK with you?

Trump has his issues, but the Democrats and the left hate him and are desperately trying to get rid of him because he is draining the political swamp, and uncovering corruption.

Biden is unfortunately a vote for weakness and corruption, and I think he will step us back into government bureaucracy.
Except it's been shown that Trump has largely made the "swamp" significantly worse, by hiring mostly unqualified people in positions of government solely because they are his friends, family, business associates or people who kiss his butt. Lobbyists and other special interests now have more power than in any other modern presidency. He and his administration have regularly attacked the checks and balances put into place by the Founders to ensure a balance of power between the government branches, and in many instances, those checks have been damaged or wiped out entirely. We hardly go a month without a new constitutional crisis. And you don't have to take my word for it. It's been well-documented and studied.
All you seem to have is projection here. You refuse to acknowledge that the nation is not in a good position socially, culturally or economically, so you need to project some dystopian future regarding Biden. It's incredibly dishonest on so many levels.

If Clinton had won and had governed like Trump has, I would've hated her and wanted her out just as much. If you cared about America, you could never support Donald Trump. It's really that simple. America is hurting right now. It's people are in dire need of better leadership at the top. Biden is not perfect, but my god, he'll be better.

Same. I was what I like to be call a 'drive by politics' follower. I would see the MSM and think I knew what was going on. I realize now how I knew so little. I started paying close attention after voting for Obama in 2008 and the longer it goes and the more radical the left becomes the more conservative I become. I realize what total liars they are.
